Softball Adds Teller To Coaching Staff for 2012 Season

Harvard is in search of its fifth Ivy League North Division
title in 2012 (Harvard Athletic Communications).

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The defending Ivy League champion
Harvard softball team has added a coaching assistant to its ranks,
bringing on Terri Teller ’99 for the 2012 campaign. A former
All-Ivy League player for the Crimson, Teller will be making her
second appearance on the Harvard coaching staff, as she was an
assistant under head coach Jenny Allard from 2000-06.

In her first two years on the Harvard coaching staff, Teller
helped the Crimson to back-to-back Ivy League titles and saw the
squad advance to the NCAA tournament in 2000. In her seven years
with the team, Teller saw 18 players garner first-team All-Ivy
accolades, 15 players earn second-team nods and 13 earn all-league
honorable mention.

Following her initial stay with the Crimson coach staff, Teller
held a number of positions in the environmental sciences field. She
begins her second stint with the Crimson after most recently
serving as the education technician for the Boston Harbor Island
National Recreation Area, a part of the National Park Service.

During her playing career, Teller was a three-time All-Ivy
League athlete, earning first team accolades as a senior. She was
also named an NEISCA All-Star following her senior season with the
Crimson. She ranks 10th in program history in career doubles (27)
and recorded the eighth-most RBI (78) in team history.

Brandi Gordon, who is in her fourth season with the program,
will serve as assistant coach in 2012, after three seasons as the
coaching assistant. Carri Leto Martin, in her sixth season at
Harvard, will move into the volunteer assistant role as she
prepares for the birth of her first child in early June.
